Sunrisers Hyderabad did it again! In a matter of three weeks, SRH batters have not only set the record for the highest-ever total in IPL and franchise cricket history but broke their record with yet another jaw-dropping display of power hitting, this time at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
SRH batters ransacked 287 runs against a hapless Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowling attack on Monday after their 277-run effort against Mumbai Indians on March 27. Thus bettering their record for the highest-ever total in IPL and franchise league history.
The effort was led by Travis Head who clobbered a 39-ball 100 – the fourth fastest in IPL history; followed by Heinrich Klassen’s brutal 31-ball 67 and handy cameos from Aiden Markram (32 off 17), Abdul Samad (37 off 10) and Abhishek Sharma (34 off 22).

For RCB, it was yet another listless bowling performance with their overseas recruit Reece Topley returning 1/68 in his four overs – the third worst bowling figures in IPL history, while four RCB bowlers went for over 50 runs- a first in IPL history as well.
SRH eventually ended with 287/3 – setting the second-highest total in T20 cricket. The innings had 22 sixes – the most in an IPL innings ever.
